Front structure for straddle-type vehicle

Abstract

A front structure for a straddle-type vehicle includes a front cushion unit supported by a support shaft installed between a pair of left and right arms of a straddle-type vehicle while being disposed at a position behind a front wheel steering shaft of the straddle-type vehicle and above an engine, and a cover that covers a space between the pair of left and right arms between the front wheel steering shaft and the front cushion unit.

What is claimed is: 
     
       1. A front structure for a straddle-riding vehicle comprising:
 a suspension supported by a support shaft installed between a pair of left and right arms of a straddle-type vehicle while being disposed at a position behind a steering shaft of the straddle-type vehicle and above a power source of the straddle-type vehicle; and 
 a cover that covers a space between the pair of left and right arms between the steering shaft and the suspension, 
 wherein a front section of the cover is fixed to a cylindrical holder that pivotably supports the steering shaft by a first fixing member. 
 
     
     
       2. The front structure for a straddle-riding vehicle according to  claim 1 , wherein the front section of the cover is fixed to the holder from behind by a pair of left and right first fixing members. 
     
     
       3. The front structure for a straddle-riding vehicle according to  claim 1 , wherein a suspension insertion hole through which the suspension is inserted is formed in the cover. 
     
     
       4. The front structure for a straddle-riding vehicle according to  claim 1 , wherein a rear section of the cover is fixed to the suspension by a second fixing member. 
     
     
       5. The front structure for a straddle-riding vehicle according to  claim 4 , wherein the rear section of the cover is fixed to the suspension from behind by the second fixing member. 
     
     
       6. The front structure for a straddle-riding vehicle according to  claim 1 , wherein the cover has flexibility, and
 a bent section curved along the cylindrical holder, which is that pivotably supports the steering shaft, and one of the arms is formed in the cover. 
 
     
     
       7. The front structure for a straddle-riding vehicle according to  claim 1 , wherein the suspension is an electronic control suspension having a connecting section, and
 a connecting section insertion hole through which the connecting section is inserted is formed in the cover. 
 
     
     
       8. The front structure for a straddle-riding vehicle according to  claim 1 , wherein the cover comprises:
 a first wide section spreading in a vehicle width direction while extending upward and downward along a rear section of the cylindrical holder that pivotably supports the steering shaft; 
 a second wide section spreading in the vehicle width direction to cover upper surfaces of the pair of left and right arms while extending rearward from a lower end of the first wide section; and 
 a rearward extension section extending from a rear end of the second wide section toward a rear end of a lower section of the suspension. 
 
     
     
       9. The front structure for a straddle-riding vehicle according to  claim 8 , wherein the rearward extension section comprises:
 a first extension section extending rearward and downward from the rear end of the second wide section; and 
 a second extension section extending forward and downward from a rear end of the first extension section, and 
 the second extension section extends in an axial direction of the suspension. 
 
     
     
       10. The front structure for a straddle-riding vehicle according to  claim 1 , wherein one of the arms is a lower arm extending in a vehicle forward-rearward direction while being connected to a lower section of the cylindrical holder that pivotably supports the steering shaft.
